What a difference a week makes.
After the messy start to their vacation, the eighty-something couple eventually arrived back in Tampa last Sunday morning. I was schedule to collect them. Something must have happened onboard that ship. It might have been the sea air, the cheap booze or even the Mexican food, but they were a different pair.
When we left, Matt was dressed in a vest and cargo shorts, black socks and brown lace-up shoes. His wife was in expando-pants and droopy top. Altogether uninspiring.
Looking for similarly attired people at the pick-up point, I hardly recognized them. Matt was in stylish white jeans, short-sleeved shirt and natty shoes. His wife (I can't remember her name) was looking almost hot (in an eighty-something Florida way). Not only were they looking tanned and chic, but there was something in the air. And it wasn't just her new perfume.
Yep, I think Mr and Mrs had revisited the carnal side of their relationship. There is an air about a guy when he's proven his manliness again, and Matt had it. He swaggered. And she was kittenish, not a bad feat for an arthritic oldster.
Anyway, it was a fantastic advertisement for the cruise line, and one I'll be bearing in mind in the coming decades.
I can't believe I wrote that.

I cant believe you wrote that either!!! hot in an eighty -something florida way? I think you really need to get out of florida.
however i think its pretty cool that the old folks "did the deed" , 'got down and dirty", played 'hide the sausage" i,m running out of cheesy expressions here.
Awww, that's sweet (in an I don't want to think about it too much kind of way).
Blogs are like a box of chocolates, Sugar, you never know what you'll get.
I know, Enigma, I am being gradually sucked into the Floridian Oldster Complex.
Ugh.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly, Girl. It's superficially cute, but doesn't bear too much thought.
OMG!!! I love this!
Toooooooo funny!
And i'm glad you wrote that. Someday, that'll be us... well not specifically us... you know what I mean.
I can just see this couple... this made my day. Totally cracked me up in a "cocoon" sort of way. Thanks Wombie.
Oh!Jeez! Why is this horribly depressing and amazingly optimistic at the same time?
Someday. Someday indeed Lakota.
So glad to make you laugh.
I guess because that's exactly what it is, NiteByrd.
I can't bear to think about it myself. Aging. It's all a mystery to me, yet all too familiar.
I didn't like it, but they paid me well. At least I got to keep the ball gag.
